Computer Science Curriculum Framework 2015 Course Title: Course/Unit Credit: Course Number: Grades: Prerequisite: Essentials of Computer Programming N/A Essentials of Computer Programming is a course for students with no formal computer programming experience. Students will spend the majority of time coding to solve real-world problems in a collaborative environment. The course focuses on developing computational thinking, refining problem-solving skills, and applying key programming concepts. Throughout the course, students will use developmentally appropriate and accurate terminology when communicating about technology. Essentials of Computer Programming does not require additional Arkansas Department of Education approval. Content Standard 1: Students will use relevant program design and problemsolving strategies.
